1. LAST OPPORTUNITY!!! – Australian Institute of Architects, REFUEL SEMINAR – New Futures for Heritage Buildings: Responsible Adaption, Additions and Re-use, Hobart
Thursday 28 June
12.30-2.30pm
TAS Chapter 1/19a Hunter Street, Hobart
It is said that in the near future fifty percent of architects’ work will be to existing buildings: this Professional Development seminar considers the important work of the architect in bringing new roles and new life to existing structures – all part of a sustainable agenda. The seminar will showcase relevant examples of Australian and international adaptive re-use, and also of new architecture in historic precincts, and will discuss the principles behind their success. There will be three local architects presenting Tasmanian case studies to complement the main presentation.
The seminar will be presented by Elizabeth Vines, of Adelaide-based practice McDougall & Vines, is well known for her positive and entrepreneurial role in the conservation of historic buildings and townscapes. Her key role in the preservation and rejuvenation of Broken Hill, and her career as a heritage advocate in Australia and in Asia, were acknowledged with an Order of Australia in 2009. Very positive feedback has been obtained from all the other seminar participants on this topic held throughout Australia in late May and early June.

3. Australia ICOMOS – Canberra Talk Series
Dirty industry or beautiful temples? The challenges of an industrial World Heritage nomination in Japan
Michael Pearson
Japan is in the process of developing a World Heritage nomination for a series of sites reflecting the first successful expansion of the industrial revolution to a non-western society. The sites are industrial in nature, some of them still in operational use. They are very different from the accepted concept of heritage sites in Japan, where aesthetically beautiful and culturally traditional sites are valued. The recognition and conservation of these sites as ‘heritage’ has had to face strong political and government administrative challenges, and has meant an expansion of the Japanese concept of what constitutes its own heritage.
Michael Pearson is a Canberra-based heritage consultant currently working with Japanese government bodies to help develop this nomination.
Members and the public are welcome.
Time & Date: 5 .00-7.00pm, Thursday 28 June 2012 – the talk will start at 5.30pm
Venue: Menzies Room, National Archives of Australia, East Block, Queen Victoria Terrace, Parkes (enter from Kings Avenue side)
Refreshments will be available appropriate to the talk’s topic! (A $5.00 donation is appreciated)
RSVP: To Marilyn Truscott

4. Australia ICOMOS – Sydney Talk Series
Heritage & Sustainability: Two papers given at ICOMOS’ General Assembly 2011
Old & Green: Environmental performance of traditional Chinese housing
Peter Phillips
Traditional Chinese housing, like vernacular housing everywhere, is under threat. Because such housing is considered wasteful in its use of land or energy, it is often demolished for more intensive and supposedly more energy-efficient housing, despite the resulting loss of embodied energy and urban amenity. Although the conservation movement has helped to preserve some traditional housing, the need for old buildings to meet modern standards of comfort and environmental performance remains a potential economic deterrent to conservation.
Peter will present the findings of a recent study conducted by a team from the University of Technology, Sydney that studied the environmental performance of traditional Chinese housing in Xiao He Zhi Jie, Hangzhou.
Peter Phillips is the principal of Orwell & Peter Phillips Architects, a practice that has been active in building conservation since the 1950s. Peter also lectures on conservation and heritage at the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building at the University of Technology, Sydney, and is a former President of Australia ICOMOS.
Wasting Embodied Energy—Time to Change: An Australian Perspective
Rachel Jackson
This paper aims to help managers and legislators in an Australian context understand the environmental sustainability benefits associated with built heritage conservation.
Whilst the practice of constructing new energy efficient buildings to combat climate change is gaining momentum, the environmental benefits of retaining historic buildings is less well known. Surprisingly the opportunities to re-use historic buildings to achieve both conservation and energy efficiency benefits are constrained by a lack of inclusion in environmental legislation.
The combination of measuring embodied energy and using heritage management tools is explored through the case study of the Australian National University.
Rachel Jackson is a heritage consultant and currently team leader of the GML Canberra office, with heritage experience in private practice and working with the Commonwealth government.
Members of the public are welcome!
Time & Date: Thursday 28 June 2012, 5.30pm for 6pm start
Cost: Members $5, non-members $10, payable at the door. Wine and nibbles will be provided.
Venue: Godden Mackay Logan, 78 George Street, Redfern
RSVP: email Jane Vernon or call (02) 9319 4811. Please note: RSVP is essential as places are limited.

6. RHSV exhibition and talk, Melbourne
MELBOURNE’S MARVELLOUS THEATRES – FROM STAGE TO SCREEN
Melburnians are invited to go back stage and explore Melbourne’s early days of theatrical entertainment, as the Royal Historical Society of Victoria (RHSV) presents “Melbourne Theatres in Transition 1840s – 1940s an idiosyncratic view.”
This fascinating exhibition looks at the development of theatre in Melbourne and the changes that occurred after the introduction of cinema.
Through rare images and artefacts, visitors to the exhibition can explore and observe the:
- development of Melbourne’s theatreland from 1860s – 1940s
- countless actors who have performed in Melbourne since 1842
- theatrical entrepreneurs, from George Coppin to Frank Thring Senior
- early playbills and advertising
“Melbourne has always been synonymous with theatre, dating right back to the rickety Theatre Royal, erected in 1842 and attached the Eagle Tavern, right through to Her Majesty’s in Exhibition Street and the ‘Picture Palaces’ of the ‘20s and ‘30s,” said Dr. Mimi Colligan, historian and exhibition curator.
“Before the outbreak of WWI, there were ‘crowded houses’ for the stage shows in Melbourne’s ‘theatreland’ of Spring and Bourke Streets, and small venues like St George’s Hall and Athenaeum Hall.
“But by the 1920s the stage was being challenged by the screen, with black and white flickering ‘moving pictures’ attracting large audiences in both the CBD and in the suburbs.
“This exhibition traces Melbourne’s theatre history, taking the visitor on a journey through Melbourne’s stage scene and looking at its transition into screen.”
The exhibition is being held until the 31st August in the former Australian Army Medical Corps Drill Hall – an impressive space, listed on the Historic Buildings register for its state-wide architectural and historical significance.
Dr. Mimi Colligan will be giving a lunchtime floor talk on Thursday 28 June at 12pm.
Exhibition: “Melbourne Theatres in Transition 1840s – 1940s an idiosyncratic view.”
Showing: until the 31st August 2012
Open: 10am – 4pm, Monday – Friday
Venue: Royal Historical Society of Victoria
239 A’Beckett Street, Melbourne
Cost: Gold coin donation
